| [Fort Worth Star-Telegram] The average speed exceeded 100 mph on Interstate 35W just as it began to rain before a deadly February 2021 pileup that killed six, according to the North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners. The National Transportation Safety Board released hundreds of pages of documents on Wednesday related to its investigation into a 133-vehicle crash on a icy patch of southbound TEXPress lanes near Northside Drive north of downtown Fort Worth at about 6 a.m. The report included a document submitted by the toll road operators. Concrete barriers separate the toll lanes, where the speed limit is 75 mph. |

| #2 Black ice and the morning commute. We're used to that here in the north. Fort Worth, not so much. |
